"Are you playing with me?"
Baili Pangpang rushed to the training ground with all his strength while crying. He didn't know where he got the strength. He was just a puddle of mud on the bed, but now he was walking as fast as flying!
Since the night had dissipated, Lin Qiye could only rely on his own speed to run towards the training ground. Fortunately, his speed was not slow, and he still arrived at the training ground within three minutes this time.
This time, significantly more people arrived on time.
However, there were still a few who had just finished 20 laps, and either fell behind, or they rolled their eyes and fainted as soon as they reached the training ground.
The person on the front leg had just fainted, and a group of medical staff on the back leg were carrying a stretcher. They ran from the side in a hurry and lifted the person onto the stretcher like throwing sandbags. They were so cheerful that they didn't know where to take them. They were so skillful that they were outrageous.
Instructor Hong looked at the stopwatch and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, this time most of the people arrived on time and made some progress."
Then, he continued: "The next twenty minutes will be your meal time. If you don't come back here within twenty minutes, you know what the consequences will be."
After saying that, he took the other two instructors and turned around to leave without looking back.
All the recruits looked at each other, and then they all ran towards the cafeteria!
Even Baili Fatty, who looked dead, became energetic and rushed to the front with gleaming eyes. His expression was as if he wanted to swallow the entire canteen alive.
When the freshmen broke into the cafeteria like tigers, they suddenly froze in place when they saw the scene in front of them.
In the huge canteen, there were square tables with two large basins on them. One basin was filled with white flour steamed buns, and the other basin was filled with meat.
There are traces of blood... raw meat.
The freshmen walked into the cafeteria blankly, stood at the square tables, and looked around.
"Where's the rice? Where's the food?"
"I do not know?"
"What is this? Raw beef? How do you eat this?"
"Maybe one table will be given a hot pot for cooking and eating..."
"I don't think so."
"… "
Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang stood at the same table. The latter raised two large basins with a frown on his face, as if he wanted to find food at the bottom of the basins.
"Qiye, what do you mean by this?"
"It's not interesting, just let us eat."
"How do you eat this? The white-flour steamed buns don't even have a sip of water, and the raw meat makes me feel sick... Even if he gives me a can of Lao Ganma!"
Lin Qiye did not speak, but pointed to the table next door.
At the next table, Zheng Zhong, a former special forces soldier, had already picked up the raw meat with an expressionless face and started to bite into it. He was holding a white steamed bun in his other hand, wiping off the blood on the raw meat and stuffing it into his mouth.
"This..." Baili Pangpang looked at this scene in shock and was speechless for a while.
"Where are the people? Come out for me!" Shen Qingzhu threw the steamed buns in his hand back into the basin and shouted in a deep voice.
After a while, an old man holding a spoon came out of the kitchen with a dark face, "Who the hell is yelling?"
"Are these things for people to eat? Who are you looking down on?!" Shen Qingzhu squinted at the old man and said coldly.
"Eat if you like, get lost if you don't!" the old man glared and replied angrily.
"Oh?" Shen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and was about to say something else. At this moment, several more people walked into the canteen.
Wearing gray cloaks and holding masks in their hands, they walked straight through the center of the canteen and walked to the innermost round table to sit down.
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
This time they were not wearing masks, but everyone knew who they were.
"Hey, it's you little bastards." The old man laughed when he saw these seven people.
"Old Sun, after all these years, you are still cooking for recruits in the cafeteria?" Wang Mian, a handsome man, stood up quickly and said respectfully when he saw the old man coming.
The other members of the Masked Team also stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Sun.
"Hey, I'm an old man and can't go to the battlefield, so I can only use my spare energy in this shabby kitchen." Mr. Sun waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"After being away for so long, I really miss your old skills. This time I have to trouble you again."
"Hai, don't worry about it. Just wait here and I'll cook some dishes for you." Mr. Sun took the spoon and turned around and walked to the kitchen, completely treating the recruits as nothing.
With the mask team here, the other recruits did not dare to stop Mr. Sun. They could only frown and look at the white-flour buns and raw meat in the basin without moving.
"Eat." Lin Qiye reached out and took out a piece of white flour steamed bun from the basin and took a bite.
The steamed buns were hard and tasteless, and tasted like chewing wax.
"I... I can't eat it." Baili Pangpang felt a little nauseous when he saw the raw meat.
"If you don't eat, you won't be able to survive today's training." Lin Qiye gnawed on the steamed buns and said calmly, "And when we go to the battlefield in the future, no one can guarantee that there will be food everywhere. If you don't want to starve to death, you must learn to adapt as soon as possible."
After saying that, Lin Qiye grabbed another piece of raw meat, took a deep breath, and took a big bite with his eyes closed.
Baili Pangpang gritted his teeth, took out a piece of steamed bun from the basin and started to nibble on it.
Molly, who was watching on the sidelines, struggled for a long time, and finally made up her mind, holding the raw meat in the basin and started to chew it. Cao Yuan, who was standing opposite him, had already eaten a whole piece of meat without changing his expression, shocking the recruits around him. Year.
Shen Qingzhu's face darkened slightly, and after snorting coldly, he also started eating.
Slowly, more and more recruits began to eat food, but most of them still stood there with a face of resistance, and would rather go hungry than eat what was in front of them.
In the room on the second floor, Instructor Hong looked down at the entire cafeteria and nodded slightly.
"Yes, there are more people eating than the last one, and there are a few good seedlings among them."
"Well, that Zheng Zhong is worthy of being a special forces soldier. He doesn't even frown when he eats it. That Lin Qiye is also good. But what I didn't expect is that Shen Qingzhu also started eating... "
"Humph, he is just a military gangster!"
"Old Hong, you still can't judge people by their appearance. I think he just has a bit of a prickly personality, but he's not actually bad at heart."
"You think highly of him?"
"People will always change. This year's training camp will change a lot of things. Who knows what it will be like when they leave here."
Instructor Hong shrugged, noncommittal.
"Speaking of which, in this age, do we still need to be so strict?" The new instructor next to him asked hesitantly, "No matter how difficult it is, you shouldn't eat raw meat, right?"
Instructor Hong slowly closed his eyes, seeming to be recalling something, "More than eighty years ago, when the Night Watch was first established, there was a major disaster and there was a shortage of food everywhere... In those years, the seniors were all eating Bark, chewing grass roots, holding a knife and mysteriously desperately!
Even though the economy is now developed, there are some things that we still cannot forget! Every new recruit who comes to training must eat raw meat for the first meal! It is good that they are not given grass roots and bark to eat. This is the tradition of our night watchers. It has been so in the past, it is so now, and it will still be so in the future... "
Instructor Hong paused, opened his eyes and looked out the window, and said slowly:
"Until one day, when this country no longer needs night watchmen, these ancient traditions will be buried in history forever along with those unknown secrets... "
